Evaluate Basic External Animal Anatomy and MorphologyPrimary Agriculture NQF Level 1 Unit Standard No: 11617342The body covering of a sheep also differs from the body covering of other farmanimals. Some sheep, for example the Merino, have been bred for a thick andfine wool fleece. This wool fleece can be shorn and used for clothing by man.We will study the basic external anatomy of the fowl and the sheep asexamples of farm animals.3.1 The ChickenChicken HabitatThe chicken as a farm animal is not well adapted to the wild. Although it isfarmed all over the world, it is mostly reared where shelter is available. Body coverThere are very small differences between the body cover of a chicken andthat of the pigeon.The main difference is not so clearly visible but very important in that thefeathers are not well-adapted to flight. ReproductionLike all the other birds, chickens are oviparous (lay eggs). Man uses theeggs of a large variety of birds as a commercial farming commodity. Theability to lay eggs on a daily basis for extended periods of time has beenbred into domestic pullets (egg-laying poultry).Version: 01 Version Date: July 2006

HabitatThere are a large number of different sheep breeds. Some of them arevery well adapted to different environments and therefore farmers farmwith different breeds all over the world: From very dry areas like the Karooto high rainfall areas like New Zealand. Sheep like the Merino with a densewool cover, can withstand very hot, dry environments, yet they can also becomfortable in bitterly cold conditions.Version: 01 Version Date: July 2006
